- AI agents help Cato slash ‘time-to-protect’ from new CVEs
Secure access service edge (SASE) specialist Cato Networks has claimed a new world record for vulnerability mitigation, saying it has cut ‘time-to-protect’ for a newly-discovered common vulnerability and exposure (CVE) down to a mere 45 minutes using agentic threat intelligence. Traditional appliance-based security depends on a slow patching cycle in which suppliers develop protections and push them live as updates, following which customers must test them and upgrade or configure the assets in scope. In the wrong circumstances, this can take weeks, and success hinges entirely on the actions of the customer security team. Cato’s cloud-native software architecture has already compressed this multi-week cycle to mere hours, but adding artificial intelligence (AI) agents into the mix, it is now squeezing this timescale even more tightly, in the hope of protecting organisations from emerging exploits at machine, rather than human speed. Cato co-founder and CEO Shlomo Kramer said: “Attackers move in minutes. Appliance-centric security still moves in patch cycles. “Cato closes the gap by turning new CVE intelligence into protections deployed globally across our cloud service, with zero customer effort. In the AI era, security architecture is no longer a matter of efficiency. It is a do-or-die security decision,” said Kramer. Why it matters When the end-of-year cyber roundups are written, one of the bigger technical stories of 2026 will be the advent of frontier AI models from the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI, which are supposedly accelerating the scale and speed of CVE disclosure to the consternation of many . The US’ National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has reported that CVE submissions to its National Vulnerability Database (NVD) have ballooned by over 250% since the start of the ‘20s and were over 33% year-on-year during the first calendar quarter of 2026. In light of this, back in April 2026 , NIST said that this surge was forcing it to revise its CVE classification methodology, with the result that it will be ‘enriching’ flaws – providing detailed information to help end-users prioritise and mitigate them – far more rarely. In this new paradigm NIST is prioritising CVEs that appear in the US’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (Cisa’s) Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (Kev) catalogue or those to which the US government is particularly exposed. Others will be left by the wayside. When one also considers that only just over half of edge device vulnerabilities were fully-mitigated in 2025 – this according to Verizon statistics – Cato said that it was clear traditional patching methodologies are no longer up to the job Security teams are no longer fighting time-to-protect, it argued, they are fighting to reduce time-to-exploit. How it works Over its 11-year lifespan to date, Cato has been closely monitoring vulnerabilities, developing and validating protections, and deploying updates across its cloud with – so it claims – near-zero false positives. By applying AI agents to its operating model it is now able to run the full protection lifecycle under human supervision but with no human involvement. Effectively, its agents are empowered to monitor and triage disclosed vulnerabilities from various sources, extract indicators of compromise (IoCs) and reproduce exploits inside a sandbox environment, develop threat signatures and test and simulate them to eliminate false positives or potential sources of disruption, and deploy these validated signatures to its cloud platform automatically, unburdening its customer security teams. The firm said that its visibility into the network to see attacks, the platform to correlate their context, and the cloud to enforce protection worldwide, put it in an excellent position to operationalise security updates at machine speed. More widely, agentic CVE mitigation may herald a broader industry shift as security ops in general drift away from manual, user-run workflows to ongoing, machine-scale protection in the cloud. “The breakthrough here is not just speed,” said Elad Menahem, Cato senior vice president of research. “It’s that vulnerability response itself can now operate continuously and at machine scale.” Read more about AI agents Yet more billions are being spent on agentic AI, despite warnings of its potentially extreme fallibility. Just who are governments serving when they spout the messaging of Big Tech companies? Telco StarHub is building a trust layer that will assign unique identities to AI agents, allowing it to monitor and block malicious agentic activity in real time . The growing adoption of agentic AI will require IT leaders to rebalance their CPU and GPU estates, tightly integrate data layers, and redesign human workflows, according to Dell Technologies CTO John Roese .

- As the U.S. faces a worsening shortage of care for the elderly, can robots fill the gap?
After outliving Booker T. Bones, their second service dog, Brenda and Brian Marquis still needed help with some of the more difficult parts of daily life . They found Robbie, a robot that rolls out of a hallway into their living room several times a day. “Do you want to exercise now? Please answer yes or no,” the caregiver robot asks 59-year-old Brian Marquis, who has been living with a traumatic brain injury since a 2012 car crash. “Yes,” he responds. Then he stands up as the robot’s googly-eyed digital screen “face” morphs into an exercise video that guides him through an afternoon workout. The decades-long quest to build home robots that are both helpful and lifelike — spurred on by fictional machines like The Jetsons’ humanoid maid Rosie — is still mostly a pipe dream. That’s despite growing appeal as the oldest baby boomers are turning 80 this year and the United States faces a deepening shortage of home care aides, driven by low wages, high turnover and demanding workloads. But the machine helping the Marquis family — a robot piloted by a University of New Hampshire laboratory, with funding from the National Institute of Aging — offers a glimpse of the emerging possibilities. ‘Stretch’ aids a dementia patient with a range of tasks The wheeled robot that some have likened to a coat rack was not what Brenda Marquis initially had in mind when she wrote an email to a robotics professor at nearby UNH, asking for advice on robotic dogs. Robbie, the couple’s name for a new robot model officially called Stretch 4, spends much of the day at a charging station between the kitchen and bedroom. When it comes out, it does important work, like nudging Brian, who has dementia, to eat lunch or drink water. Brenda Marquis, 59, said she and her husband have physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities that make life complex. “We’ve been kind of trapped in a problem here in New Hampshire of being able to find and recruit enough home care support,” Brenda Marquis said in an interview at the couple’s Durham, New Hampshire apartment, where she scoots around in a motorized wheelchair while taking care of her husband. “That was when I started looking into robotics and trying to figure out what to do.” At the other end of Brenda’s email was Momotaz Begum, a UNH computer science professor who has spent years experimenting with “socially assistive” robots that can aid people with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Her robotics lab is full of experimental robots, including the four-legged variety. Begum said the lab asked focus groups of older adults at memory care units what kind of robot they would like as a home companion. Many preferred pet-like robot designs. “The common feedback that we got about Stretch was, ‘OK, this one looks like a coat hanger,'” she said. “But what we learned over time is that the look doesn’t matter.” Several makers are designing robots for elder companionship Apart from robotic vacuum cleaners, the closest thing many older adults have to caregiving robots is a speaker powered by an artificial intelligence voice assistant like Alexa. Some robot makers have expanded that concept into swiveling tabletop machines like ElliQ, designed for elder companionship. But those aren’t mobile or functional enough for Begum, who said she is “trying to reduce that caregiver burden. And the caregiver actually does way more than social companionship.” Humanoids, meanwhile, are still far from being useful in most homes and pose physical danger to people with limited mobility if the robot trips and falls. The founders of Hello Robot, maker of the Stretch robots, said its simplicity is the point. “Our robot’s very practical, pragmatic. I think it communicates that,” said CEO Aaron Edsinger, a former director of robotics at Google. “If you show up looking like a humanoid, that expectation’s going to be set so high, it’s going to be very hard to do.” The typical version of the Stretch 4 includes a telescoping gripper that can retrieve a water bottle and hold it out for a person to drink through a straw. Show it a prescription bottle and it can help read the fine print. The robot pulls together information from its cameras and onboard sensors, together with other sensors installed in a home, to figure out its location and who is in the room. Manufactured at Hello Robot’s headquarters in Martinez, California, and sold for nearly $30,000, the new model that launched in May is far from being as ubiquitous as a Roomba or an AI-powered speaker. But for its target clientele, it can be a lifeline. Robbie’s programmed care protocol for Brian is posted on the couple’s wall, and it includes exercise instructions, meal and medicine reminders, evening routine reminders and quick washup prompts that are only triggered after Brian enters the bathroom. “I was never into technology,” Brian Marquis said. “Then I realized I can’t remember to wash my face and my armpits. So, it just really kind of set me free almost.” Brenda Marquis said it also freed her from hours of daily work and helped her reduce expenses. Fearful of leaving her husband at home too long, she was ordering groceries on Instacart. Now she can leave him with Robbie and go get groceries herself. “I can go ahead and go to that mahjong game or whatever. Robbie’s gonna take care of him,” she said. —— AP journalist Rodrique Ngowi contributed to this report. —Matt O’Brien, AP Technology Writer

The past few days have been full of bad news for the AI industry. The headlines paint a picture of an industry confronting growing pushback on multiple fronts, from political and regulatory headwinds to disappointing financial returns to poor results from real AI deployments. These are the stories that fed the narrative. The AI industry’s shifting narrative on jobs In a notable shift in tone, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that artificial intelligence is unlikely to trigger the “jobs apocalypse” he had previously warned about. Speaking virtually at a Commonwealth Bank event in Sydney, Altman downplayed earlier predictions of widespread job displacement, admitting his early economic intuitions were “pretty wrong” regarding immediate white-collar layoffs. Altman said the hit to entry-level office work has been significantly smaller than he expected. AI company executives have sometimes dramatized the potential negative effects of AI as a way of hyping the power of their models. But now that popular resistance to the technology, born partly of job-loss fears, is threatening the construction of new data centers, AI companies may be trying to tone down the rhetoric. Communities often lure big AI data center projects with tax breaks. Last week, Pennsylvania lawmakers introduced bills that would repeal tax breaks for AI/data centers and give municipalities authority to impose an 18-month moratorium on projects. The fact that Republicans are sponsoring data center moratoriums in a state that’s aggressively courting AI infrastructure is notable. It’s another sign of shifting public opinion on AI. A mid-May Gallup poll found that more than two-thirds of adults oppose the construction of AI data centers, with a majority saying they’d prefer to have a nuclear power plant in their backyard instead. Illinois passes its AI law Adding to the industry’s regulatory headaches, Illinois passed a major new AI accountability bill, SB315. The law is the first in the country to mandate independent, third-party safety audits, risk disclosures, and incident reporting for large frontier AI developers. Industry groups warned that the law could increase compliance costs and slow innovation. The AI industry has had a strong ally in the Trump White House but has failed to persuade Congress to ban new state-level AI legislation. Thousands of AI-related bills have been introduced at statehouses across the country. So AI companies are now bracing for a potential patchwork of state-level regulations that could complicate nationwide operations, and they are changing their strategy accordingly. OpenAI’s chief lobbyist and political operative Chris Lehane says the industry is increasingly engaging state lawmakers to promote weaker or toothless AI safety laws. Lehane told Politico that OpenAI hopes to shape AI policy in a “critical mass” of key states such as California, New York, and Illinois, with the hope that other states will pass similarly industry-friendly laws. Most AI hyperscalers apparently aren’t making money Fresh profitability modeling data from the investment bank Panmure Liberum suggests that most tech companies spending massive amounts on AI data centers and other infrastructure are nowhere near seeing a return on the investment. The numbers were part of a new Financial Times opinion piece written by Panmure Liberum director Joachim Klement titled “The impossible maths of the AI boom”. They show that, under best-case scenario models, Microsoft’s AI initiatives are returning -9% on investment, while Google’s ROI stood at -15%, Meta’s at -28%, and Oracle’s at a steep -35%. Only Amazon managed to eke out a slightly positive return. The figures cast doubt on the near-term profitability of the massive capital expenditures many tech giants have poured into AI infrastructure and model development. The end of Uber ‘tokenmaxxing’ Enterprise adoption is also showing signs of strain. Among the first impactful applications of AI in big companies are AI coding tools such as Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex. Big company executives have been urging software engineers to rely more on the tools to increase productivity . But the tools aren’t cheap. An Uber exec revealed that the company had burned through its entire annual AI token budget in just four months after giving thousands of developers access to Anthropic’s Claude Code tool. Some engineers were racking up monthly bills between $500 and $2,000. Now Uber is saying its massive token spend is becoming “harder to justify,” and that the company will rethink its budgeting strategy. Starbucks’ AI counting flop Starbucks is another big company that was talking big about implementing AI tools. News broke last week that the company had quietly discontinued an AI-powered inventory tool that was supposed to optimize store operations less than a year after rollout. Reuters reports that the coffee giant quietly discontinued the Automated Counting system developed by NomadGo after store employees reported persistent inaccuracies on basic tracking tasks, including miscounting milk carton volumes and failing to accurately track back-of-house beverage syrups. There’s a lot riding on AI deployment Taken together, the developments last week paint a picture of an industry confronting growing pushback on multiple fronts. Societal resistance to the technology may only grow as AI adoption’s negative side effects begin to appear, job losses among them. Big tech and its investors have a lot riding on the productive deployment of AI in enterprise settings. The generative AI boom that started with ChatGPT has now entered a phase where enterprises expect the technology to bring measurable increases in efficiency and productivity to operations. Because of the hype and high valuations of AI companies, failures will be magnified, even as successful deployments increase. (That pressure is now colliding with Wall Street’s expectations: Anthropic announced on Monday it has confidentially submitted a draft S-1 to the SEC, giving it the option to pursue an IPO pending review.) Political and social resistance to the technology is likely to grow as the negative side effects of AI adoption begin to appear—job losses being one of them. Many in the middle class believe AI will enrich and empower a small set of Silicon Valley types, while the technology itself is used to distract, addict, surveil, and even control normal people.
